It basically takes the form of an enjoyable, funny and well-observed look at a working class suburb of New York and at the people Buscemi encounters. What is most impressive is it's quite unforced and uncontrived. The action stems naturally from character and all the characters are very believable, as are their problems. It has a good and interesting cast — notice the sprinkling of lesser-known Baldwins and Braccos. Biz 566 Now Showing 551 Video 549 Sport 301 Front Page 100 News 101 TopFilm Backbjat Freetimj Main Menu
